Please keep in mind this post was not to undermine anyone, but just to make you aware of my background thread rules as I am aware there are some slights spots I havenât gone through which could have caused confusion, and I take responsibility for that part.
To make things clear, Iâm going to type the rules and details down below
Of course, if you have any inquiries, feel free to ask! (And of course, I would love feedback)
This threadâs purpose to make or edit episode-themed backgrounds and let episode writers use them for free and credit is optional.
On this thread, I am not obliged to give routine updates, as it all belongs to my schedule. I promise to try to make backgrounds quite often but it does take time.
Please donât be mistaken, I will definitely do my best-creating backgrounds or editing them, but I do have my limits especially with limited tools, so I wonât be able to do everything.
I do sometimes hold polls- sometimes I do all of the options listed on the polls, and sometimes I donât. I donât want to be rude about this, but Iâd say that it wouldnât be exactly your choice to control what I create. I do try to take on challenges but I canât promise everything.
Now, here is a new rule. As you can see, I do create backgrounds for free and without credit. What this means that the background still belongs to me, but you are allowed to use them freely. However, please do not edit my backgrounds without my permission. I do spend a lot of time on these and I hope you understand my point of view.
Side Note: No, I donât have Instagram, and I donât have a background drive.
Not all backgrounds I make will be contributed into this thread. For example, I wonât add some backgrounds used personally in my own stories, which I apologize about.
Other than that, this thread is not for requesting, and I only take requests on Episode Harmonyâs Request thread now. Also, please do try not to get off topic as the sole purpose of this thread is for me to share backgrounds for all of you.
Lastly, I hope you can understand I wonât do every background everyone suggests. I do themes, and I wonât always take your suggestion, For example, if you want a winter-themed background for your story, that is personal. I do backgrounds in general, which means for everyoneâs sake. Itâd also be cheating myself I did everyoneâs- it isnât fair to me.
Iâm sorry if youâre disappointed by these rules, or if this post bored you out. I hope you all enjoy, and of course, have a good day as usual! And of course, Iâd take in suggestions as to what Iâd do next.

_ And you may think- Toasty, Christmas is, like, legit, like, I donât know, like, a month away? Like, no.
(Sorry, I was typing it in a sassy voice )
Naw! Itâs never too late to get into to Christmas spirit! Christmas is my favourite holiday, so whatâs coming next is Christmas themed backgrounds! I know I said cultural, but I didnât get any suggestions and I was stuck and couldnât find overlays I needed for certain countries.
So, if youâd like to suggest anything, thatâs great too!
A office with big windows with snow falling and Christmas decorations in the office, a romantic setting with a big tree with lights and with snow falling? Maybe more traditional Christmas backgrounds like a pretty family lounge with a Christmas tree and presents? I know they are lame ideas but maybe you will feel inspired
PS your backgrounds are beautiful!
How about a Christmas tree in a town square? Or, making the mall background a little festive?
Most towns and cities usually have a large tree and decorations put up in public places to celebrate.
True, but Thanksgiving, I feel, you canât do much from it. For a Thanksgiving dinner, all youâd need to do is add a table overlay from the art catalog into a home background with some turkey and other Thanksgiving food overlays on top. I feel like we could do so much more with Christmas and indirect relations. SO right now, Iâm working on a ski resort mountain background.
Sorry to disappoint
Note: Ski resort Mountain background coming today.
I just want to say that the ski resort name will have to be on it, and itâll be the only name thatâll get to be on it.
It doesnât make sense, so let me rephrase it. Basically, the Ski Resort name will be on it, and you wonât be able to choose, so Iâm sorry for that.
So, if you want to suggest any names below because Iâm stuck, feel free to!
Before I say anything, I have to add one more rule to my set of rules: 10. None of my backgrounds are in the correct size, and I donât resize them.
So this means that they might not be exactly in proportion, so some bits might be cut out- but I do try to not make those bits matter in my backgrounds.

So on to the real stuff you wanted: I just realized, no, I donât actually need the ski resort name for my first background, I just assumed that I needed a huge sign to put on the mountain- I donât know, I wasnât really concentrating. AhahâŠ
Anyhow, this is my latest background, and this is in my opinion, the best background I ever made other than the futuristic ones, of course. 60% of the background was drawn, exclude the actual background, Iâm talking about the overlays. So excuse me if it doesnât seem so episode realistic like because my drawing skills are much more behind.
I did work hard on it, so I hope you all like it!
Note: I will be away for Christmas (which is a month later, of course) so I will put for backgrounds up beforehand to compensate for the loss in between those few weeks.
So, the set of backgrounds I have are:
Just the mountain- Day
Just the mountain - Night
Mountain and the ski lifts - Day
Mountain and the ski lifts - Night
Mountains and the ski lifts and the ski racks - Day
Mountains and the ski lifts and the ski racks - Night
You might wonder why I didnât just do day and night. Obviously, I do try to make it look like I did much more work,
So here it is:
Iâm glad I could help Maybe a other idea is a snow angle back ground or a snowman background or overlay. You could also make normal snowy backgrounds not holiday related, I feel there are too little of them on the episode backgrounds provided.
Your backgrounds are so good I know you will be able to make something amazing
